Mike Sonko Nominates Miguna Miguna as Nairobi Deputy Governor

Governor Mike Sonko has reportedly nominated Miguna Miguna as the new Nairobi Deputy Governor.

Reports indicate that Sonko forwarded the name of the self-declared National Resistance Movement (NRM) to the County Assembly Beatrice Elachi on Wednesday for vetting and approval.

In the letter, the Star reports, Sonko said Miguna satisfied the requirements stated in the Constitution for the position, which fell vacant after the resignation of Polycarp Igathe.

“I hereby forward my nominee, Lawyer Miguna Miguna to undergo full vetting process and approval by the County Assembly for the position of Deputy Governor,” reads part of the letter.

“The nominee meets all the requirements provided for in the Constitution, the Leadership and Integrity Act, the Elections Act and County Government Act.”

Some weeks ago, Sonko said that the next Nairobi Deputy Governor was going to be a well-educated woman from the Kikuyu community.

Miguna had been scheduled to fly back to the country on Wednesday, but canceled the trip after Immigration Department declined to issue him with a Kenyan passport.

Miguna Miguna and Sonko cannot work together. Remember Miguna refer to Sonko as drug dealer, jail-bird, convict, mapipa and other names. Miguna with all his Luo pride cannot take orders from semi-illiterate Sonko. Sonko will not finish his term as governor of Nairobi. That is one step towards the door.

Sonko must be over looking the citizen issue by stating that" miguna meets all the requirement".Unless DG does not have to be a Kenyan...
Anyway, as erratic as Miguna appears to be, Iwould have to agree with you @Kenya.May be Miguna's firebrand disposition is what in needed as acatalyst to some of the changes Sonko has to do to beautify Nairobi.
This unlikely marriage ...

Miguna Miguna is Replica of Barrack Obama Senior (Barrack Obama's late Father): FireBrand, Prideful, Arrogannt No-Nonsense, No Mincing of Words, Erratic (as mentioned), and you name it. My point: What Sonko is doing is what Kibaki did when he Let Obama Senior into the Kenya Government (for the Love of Obama Seniors BRILLIANT Economic Policies).
Nb: When Kibaki became President, he PRACTICALLY applied the Late Barrack Obama's Economic Policies. And them Pilicies worked.

The March 9. 2018 handshake between Raila and Uhuru is indeed going to transform Kenya and make the rest of the people of Kenya immediate beneficiaries.

I would like to see Matiang'i take charge of his basic responsibility of ending corruption as we know it among the members of the police force. The police are the most corrupt people yet they are essential in maintaining law and order in the nation.

If this indeed is true and verified it would be good news to Miguna hopefully although he still has to be vetted. I think Sonko is pushing back on his aggressors and Miguna will make a good bull dog for Sonko😁. You mess around with Sonko you deal with Miguna! How about a passport now for nominated deputy governor being delivered at his door step? This is so funny can't even wrap my head around it. Who is laughing now? Hope this is true.

Fake news. When Sonko appoints a DG, he'll be the first to announce. Not a fake FB account.

Ha, ha, ha!! Saw this on Jeff Koinange and I almost fell off my seat! Kenya is becoming a joke.Policy and law makers don't agree. One department undermines the other every waking day! How is it possible for the immigration department to declare that Miguna needs to certify himself as per constitution then the other department declare him fit in all manner to deputize Nairobi city? Seems to me Sonko ameshindwa na kazi so he is looking to damp his responsibilities on loud mouth Miguna. That said, I do believe Miguna can deliver, lakini his journey through the swamp will be ridden with obstacles and he will no doubt tread on many toes! Sonko is a joke... he has kerb appeal as far as husslers go, but he has no clue on running of anything. Period. Nairobi was once akin to Kigali, now it is a heap of gabbage every way one looks, truth be told. Miguna, hop on that plane and take the reins....pay back time, so embrace!! Very interesting, given he has just declared that he is now officially the opposition. He will make these jokers tremble in their boots once in. Here comes trouble and I am all for the drama..........!! Who said he is not boarding?! Oh yes, you are Miguna, right back to the eye of the storm and if I were you, I would hang a man size blown picture of your "Iam not boarding" saga right next to the president's. That will keep you grounded and focused on your mission and remind you (and whoever walks in) of your thorny journey - lest you,they forget!

"Democracy" as a political system that is supposed to elect the best for the good of all, is no longer valid. Adios "democracy."
